Chapter 910: Where is the Road Ahead?
Smoking is bad for your health!
Of course, Lu Qian knew very well and understood this. But that didn't stop him from doing tobacco.
It's like drinking alcohol is not good for the body, but didn't he make soju differently? It's all about the money.
But I don't want to smoke anymore. Lu Qian is not an old smoker in his previous life, although he also smokes, how can a man not smoke on the scene? But it's not a big smoker.
The choice to vigorously develop the "tobacco" industry was by no means out of his own love and preference for cigarettes, but purely for profit.
Just as later generations know the harm of tobacco to human health, but looking at the number of smokers in the world, no country can refuse tobacco, and the rulers are more aware of the huge benefits that tobacco can bring. [Even Bhutan, where smoking is banned nationwide, is supported by faith, and if no one smokes there, how can they ban smoking?] 】
Lu Qian is not a capitalist whose interests are paramount, but he is by no means the Virgin of fraternity. On top of that, tobacco is a completely different concept from opioids in his mind.
The latter will die if it touches it, but the former will not hurt. Lu Qian has never heard of any country that has lost the country because of smoking!
And tobacco is not only in China, but also in Europe, Africa, the Tianfang world, and the Tianzhu region, which are all good sources of money. As long as the seeds are well protected, there is no guarantee that this thing will become the next fist product of China's foreign trade.
Lu Qian didn't feel any guilt about vigorously developing the tobacco industry in his heart.
Tidy up your mood and happily come to Xuanwu Lake outside the imperial city. Jinling Imperial City is located in the south of Xuanwu Lake, west of Zhongshan, before the "dragon head" of Zhongshan, Xuanwu Lake was not encircled into the palace.
And just like Kaifeng's Jinming Pond, Long Live Mountain, Zhending's Tan Garden, and many famous gardens in Luoyang are open to the public, after Xuanwu Lake is wantonly built, only Huanzhou and Yingzhou, which is surrounded by Huanzhou, have become royal gardens that are not open to the public, and the other three continents are like parks.
For this banquet, Emperor Lu set up a banquet on Sakura, although it was not the time when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom at this time, it was not beautiful. But the royal weather, for the heroes who were invited to the banquet, has been full of glory.
……
Millions of people inside and outside Jinling City, naturally it is impossible to gather at the wharf to see Jinshan, and when Emperor Lu arrived at Yingzhou, the news that the Dongtan fleet returned and brought back a big gold mountain has spread throughout Jinling.
There is land in the east of the ocean, and this matter was accepted by some people very early, which was based on the prestige of Emperor Lu. Now that the news has been confirmed, it has not caused much shock, but Ruan Xiaoqi's words "stretching from north to south for thousands of miles, and its land is especially bigger than China", which made many people talk about it.
But what makes the people talk the most is the hill-like gold. A total of more than 100,000 catties of gold, that is a temptation that people cannot resist. They don't know that most of them are fakes.
They only believe that the continent east of the ocean not only really exists, but is also a land full of gold and silver!
Although many people do not know the specific information of the Americas, the eyes of the people are clear, and everyone is not an idiot. If that place is really a treasure of nature, as for letting the Dongtan fleet get so much gold?
How much cargo can a total of 12 ships carry? It was an expedition ship, not a trading ship, and the cabin was probably loaded with more food, fresh water, and ship supplies. Even some people still remember that there are some cows, horses and pigs loaded inside!
Then a little thing can be exchanged for so much gold, and in the eyes of hundreds of people, the land of America is full of gold and silver, waiting for people to pick it up.
"Your Majesty is really a saint in the world, a saint in the world." The merchants of Jinling shouted in unison. They don't know anything about the details of the Americas, and they only regard the Americas as an existence that is more "stupid and rich" than Ethiopia at the beginning.
And a place where the territory is vast, especially in China, how many people should there be. Thinking of the deal made by the East Exploration Fleet, everyone was excited. In their minds, the Americas are going to be a huge market.
For them, it's a benefit, it's money.
Therefore, when the real America is exposed, those individual businessmen will definitely lament. But at the same time, he will worship Emperor Lu even more!
It was worthy of being the "True Dragon Son", such a beautiful piece of land was swallowed by him effortlessly.
With such a vast land, primitive and fragile tribal natives, doesn't it mean that America is a blank land? It is also rich in gold and silver, and the land is fertile, which can be said to be the foundation of the emperor.
Emperor Lu occupied the land of America without much effort, it was not for God's favor, how could his luck be so prosperous?
Combined with Emperor Lu's past several appearances, it is logical that the image of the whole person will be sublimated in the hearts of the common people and the officialdom.
Only the 'bad bugs' who hide in the shadows gnash their teeth at this.
Especially Fujiwara and the others from Dongying, thinking of the clansmen living on the narrow island, thinking of the lord who was overwhelmed by Lu Qi's layers of pressure, Fujiwara and Konoe were very drunk.
"Yaga, Yaga. The gods of the Central Plains protect the emperor of the Central Plains like this, how can Amaterasu not protect my Emperor of Japan? "Such a rich fertile soil was easily pocketed by Lu Qi, which had to make Fujiwara crazy.
Ever since he heard about the real situation in the Americas, he has thought more than once that it would be wonderful if he had discovered that it was not the Chinese in the Americas, but the ...... of their Yamato nation.
A group of wild men who also used stone as weapons, especially inferior to the Ainu in the north, but with an abundance of gold, the Japanese samurai would have swords to easily conquer. After that, the huge amount of gold, the vast expanse of boundless fertile land in the warm and humid climate, and the paradise-like place here, are all owned by the Yamato nation.
What an intoxicating thing that must be.
What kind of days was it for the population of the Yamato nation to double in a short period of time, and everyone had no shortage of food to eat? How strong should the imperial warriors be, and how sharp should their swords be......
But all this now belongs to the Chinese. China, which is already powerful and makes people desperate, naturally becomes more powerful and makes people despair even more driven to despair.
They are so invincible and irresistible!
"Amaterasu, is there really an Anamela god?" Konoe Fumitada cried. If there really is Amaterasu, why didn't she remind the Yamato nation earlier? Why did a treasure and blessed land like the Americas fall into the hands of the Chinese?
As a humble ant, it is very stressful to challenge an invincible giant.
See what else can they do?
After the destruction of the Pu family, the investigation of the artillery came to a standstill. Fujiwara Yoshino just made a means to lay out in Yangzhou, and it didn't take long for him to be found by the Security Division, and he was lucky to get out of a fight, but his strength was greatly lost. Now that a few months have passed, what else can they do and what can they do except nest in Jinling to recuperate and avoid the limelight?
"Fujiwara, come, drink. Singing when you get it, and resting when you lose it, and being sad and hateful is also leisurely. There is wine today, drunk today, and sorrow tomorrow comes. ”
